Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 137 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 132 kt against a VREF of 137 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 137 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,814 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,482 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, a movement that required 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24R, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 3,844 ft, representing 34 % of the runway, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 38 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 030°, a crosswind component of 3 kt and a tailwind component of 4 kt.
The climb commenced overhead LEBL, climbing from 984 ft asl to 37,001 ft asl, an altitude gain of 36,017 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 107 nm.
Level cruise began 2 mi east of Forcall (Comunitat Valenciana, Spain) and continued for 347 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 388 nm.
Descent was initiated 2 mi south-west of Mairena del Alcor (Andalusia, Spain), descending from 36,996 ft asl to 1,297 ft asl, a loss of 35,700 ft in 22 minutes and covering 117 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at GMTT Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 277.0°, at 4 nm and 1,246 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28, which is 9,814 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,484 ft down the runway, at a speed of 123 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 203 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 34 °F, wind 5 kt from 030°, a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,208 ft, equivalent to 43 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the roll.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 620 nm, required 106 minutes of flight time, and consumed 8,996 lb of fuel.
The final approach to runway 28 at GMTT Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 277.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,246 ft agl, with a temperature of 34 °F, wind 5 kt from 30 °, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,484 ft down the runway at a speed of 123 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 203 fpm and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 4,208 ft, representing 43 % of the 9,814 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Refine the vertical control to reduce the touchdown rate from minus 203 fpm toward a smoother profile, which will further improve the already excellent landing performance.
